Subject: Couple of Law Changes

From our friends at 'HQ',
Don't fancy 'squeeze ball' much myself though.

Law 3.10
Amend

10 TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT

(a) When a player leaves the field to have bleeding controlled and/or have an open wound covered , that player may be temporarily replaced. If the player who has been temporarily replaced does not return to the field-of-play within 15 minutes of leaving the playing area, the replacement becomes permanent and the replaced player must not return to the field-of-play

(b) If the temporary replacement is injured, that player may also be replaced.

(c) If the temporary replacement is sent off for foul play, the replaced player may not return to the field-of-play

(d) If a temporary replacement is cautioned and temporarily suspended, the replaced player may not return to the field-of-play until after the period of suspension.

INTERPRETATION OF LAW 15 6 (d) -THE TACKLED PLAYER

Law 15.6 (d) states

“A tackled player may release the ball by pushing it along the ground in any direction except forward, providing this is done immediately.”

In recent times players having been tackled or who go to ground have done so ensuring that the ball is underneath them, they then push the ball along the ground and through their legs (a practice known as squeeze ball).

On most occasions when players attempt to push the ball along the ground under their bodies they are not making the ball available immediately and they are in contravention of Law 14.1 and Law 15. 6(d). Players who attempt the action are liable to penalty unless the ball is immediately available.

Unions are requested to adopt Domestic Variations which makes the action, referred to as the squeeze ball, illegal for all age levels from under 18 downwards.
